Sugar doesn't cause cancer but it accelerates it. The Sugar industry covered that up for years.

There's been a spike post-COVID in cancer rates in young people. Correlation: mRNA vaccines. Causation? Unknown but do you really think the public will get that information, after what happened with the Sugar industry and cancer.

Also, to add further to my skepticism, the Lab Leak theory regarding Covid-19 was heavily denied. Then when Biden decided to have a trade war with China suddenly the Lab Leak Theory began to get traction in the main stream media.
Its all lies and propaganda. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Science is no exception. Big Pharma have deep pockets. They get the Scientific results they pay for.

Learning from the past can indeed lead to better designs.

So, if I understand that correctly, it also introduced new problems? If so, do we know those new issues are solvable without inventing yet another API?

If not, is it really better or just having a different set of issues?

> All existing drugs would be very close to free, but all currently-uncured illnesses would forever stay uncured.

Unless there's government funding.

Also consider that for both patents and government funding, there are other jurisdictions which won't do what your government does, so there's a Nash equilibrium problem where every country has people who want to defect (delete patents) to get free stuff whose research was paid for by the profit margin in the jurisdiction which keeps the patents.
The shorter your exposure to weather extremes the more you can tolerate and the less you need to be prepared. Consider some extremes of human tolerance: The 300 club. 200F (sauna) to -100F (south pole winter), naked other than foot protection. IIRC the requirement is to walk around the world in that -100F condition. Or, for very limited exposure: cryotherapy. I'm finding conflicting numbers on just how cold it can go. WebMD says some chambers go as low as -300F, although any chamber that cold your head stays outside. (That level of cold is done with nitrogen, the chamber itself will be an anoxic environment.) It's normally done with protection for all the small bits that stick out, but otherwise minimal attire.
Yeah its really weird because the US already did this stuff during Obama's presidency, hell talk of the town was the US and China should form a G2 back then. Trump also recently made same sort of G2 comment, China declined both times.

You had China bailed out the US and what did China get in return the US destabilising Asia with their Pivot to Asia policy. Trump started out this way and what did trump do start a trade and tech war with China. I don't US word or signature is worth shit tho all it has is violence and fear to work with these days.
Is it not that the tech sector is regarded as right skewed?
> If we want to address the many environmental crises that we’re in right now, housing is one of the best ways to do that—to stand up and say that housing is a human right and that empty properties shouldn’t be investment properties. All the things that make a community run should be accessible within walking distance, biking distance, transit distance.

That's nice I guess. Zero mention of zoning or any structural forces. Let's just make housing a human right and that'll do it.

I am to provide some context, in many of those countries people do not normally fill in tax reports, themselves, either. Lots of those countries have rather sophisticated regulations when it comes to gambling.

Take Italy which (along the UK) has one of the largest gambling market and the strictest regulations. Effectively every bet is sent to the regulator in near real time and some stuff like bringing money to the table (game) requires an explicit approval of the regular beforehand. To put it simply taxing the gambling firms, that already need a license, is much easier.

There are monthly reports, regulator mandated vaults that have to reflect the state of each player, including all bets and wins done, player (and operator) set limits (e.g deposit limits)

So overall not taxing the end user is a good choice, it just it's a lot more involved that just 'no taxation'

Yes I’m sure that Intel fell behind because a for profit company was more concerned with hiring minorities than hiring the best employees they could find.

It’s amazing that the “take responsibility”, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps crowd” has now become the “we can’t get ahead because of minorities crowd”

I’m just throwing out a hypothetical, so I may be completely off base: perhaps aws charges high inter-AZ bandwidth prices to keep users from tunneling traffic between availabilities zones to arbitrage lower Internet/egress costs at AZ 1 vs AZ 3.

Outside of my statement above, I do agree that the cost Amazon pays for bandwidth between their sites, has to be practically nothing at their scale/size (and thus they should charge their customers very little for it, especially considering easy-multi AZ is a big differentiator for cloud vs self-hosting / colo). The user above’s dark fiber MRC prices are spot on.

I was surprised by the official Russian attitude on this, an hour after the crash it was clear what happened by the ample evidence but for some reason the non-apology("we are sorry that this happened over Russian land") came 3 days later and in Azerbaijani eyes the plane was directed into the sea in hope for a cover-up instead of an attempt to save those onboard.

How this helps anyone? Azerbaijan and Russia are allies, they even signed a cooperation agreement before the Ukraine war. AFAIK Azerbaijan even aids Russia with Georgia&Armenia to counter western influence.
> There’s a non-zero chance that AI is one of the most destructive creations in human history

The argument in the article seems to be that supply-side arguments (there aren't enough homes) don't explain housing prices, but would it not make sense that in this case there aren't enough hotels/short term condos, etc?

I admit I am biased, I usually hate staying in hotels and when I'm traveling I often want to be near family, so a house or apartment nearby where I can walk is better than a hotel where I have to drive.
Thank you!

As an aside, I consider anything that actively subverts the company, beyond whistleblowing, as unethical, and in fact, it’s a threat that people like me have to defend against, so I would never involve myself in such activities.

Picked up this hobby a few years ago (during Covid) and bought 3 or 4 of these, either full-size (nostalgic for the Original from my youth) or TCL (when we got back to the office I wanted a keyboard that would fit in my backpack that was not my laptop's).

Then I bought DasKeyboard 4 Pro (tactile switches) and that pretty much ended the hobby. It has everything, it's heavy, doesn't move on the desk (rubber feet), it's sturdy (its top is either aluminum or even steel), has 2 USB-A, very thick twisted USB cable, it's full size, has volume control wheel, even dedicated audio mute button, works with all my Windows and Linux boxes and the KVM. 3 years later it still looks and works like new. I'm a bit sad for my lost hobby but that's life I guess :)
I wonder if making it a human right would allow court challenges to zoning, parking minimums, draconian architectural rules, etc.
Maybe not privacy in general but this is about location privacy.

If you have a smartphone in your pocket, then, for better or worse, you're carrying a location tracker chip on your person because that's how they all work. The cell phone company needs to know where to send/get data, if nothing else.

It seems disingenuous to put a tracker chip in your pocket and be up in arms that someone knows your location.

Concrete quality requires vigilant testing, testers, and enforcers backing up the testers when they find bad concrete. It's a constant battle. A job as a concrete inspector is no fun.[1]
Concrete testing machines are big, heavy, labor-intensive, and often require a forklift to move.
This is why much third-world concrete is so bad. You need hard-ass honest inspectors with real authority. And backup inspectors to inspect again.

There's a market here. Design an automatic hand-held testing device you can hold against a concrete surface to get a good evaluation. Ship it with a set of small test blocks, known good and bad, as a check. Market it to home buyers, real estate agents, etc. in countries with poor inspection. It's a hard problem, but a combination of ultrasonics, cameras, ground-penetrating radar, and mechanical probes might do it.[2]

Other two things: Fish has an amazing integration with Docker and Git. If you type:

docker stop <TAB>

it suggests the hashes of the containers. About Git, you can, for example, type:

git checkout <TAB>

and Fish will suggest the available commits and tags. If you start to type a string it will also suggest the hash of commits whose messages match the string.

I know that zsh may do the same using plugins. But Fish have all of that by default without being bloated. I use Fish since 2018, never installed a plugin and never thought that something was extra in it
"They are not widely accepted as intellectuals"

A neutral Wikipedia editor would mark your "widely accepted" by a "by whom?" remark.

At the very least, Peterson is an intellectual. He is not my cup of tea, but he worked both at Harvard and at Toronto U as a teacher, and I suspect that you just can't stomach his politics. I would certainly like to see you debating him in his field.
For one anecdotal data point, GPT-4 knows the "navy SEAL copypasta" verbatim. It can reproduce it complete with all the original typos and misspellings, and it can recognize it from the first sentence.
I would not consider that evidence for the items being better, but it does explain why some people are drawn to hand made items.

I consider such items to be worse and not just because they are objectively worse. Items break and are lost. When you become emotionally attached to an object such as a unique imperfect guitar, you are guaranteed to have sorrow when it is lost (e.g. in a fire).

In any case, the original premise was that such items are better and thus hand made medicine is better too. However, you do not want variations in medicine. During the pandemic, my doctor had a suspicion that the dosages of certain drugs had been lowered by the manufacturers versus what was on the label. That posed a problem for him because he could not properly treat patients if he had no clue what was actually in the pills filling his prescriptions. His suspicion had stemmed from seeing a trend among his patients where the efficacy was dropping in a way consistent with the dosages being lowered, although he was not sure by how much. If he had tried to compensate by prescribing larger dosages, when the manufacturers began to get things right again, his patients would have been taking overdoses. His solution was to switch them to alternative drugs and hope that the manufacturers of those drugs were producing pills that matched their labels. This is why precision is very important when it comes to medicine and the last thing anyone needs are imperfections in drug manufacturing.
Second the other comment, as much vram as possible. A 3060 has 12 GB at a reasonable price point. (And is not too limiting.)
I find LLM's good for asking certain kinds of Biblical questions. For example, you can ask it to list the occurrences of some event, or something like "list all the Levitical sacrifices," "what sins required a sin offering in the OT," "Where in the Old Testament is God referred to as 'The Name'?" When asking LLM's to provide actual interpretations you should know that you are on shaky ground.
Cynical? Maybe, I think you're right on that point. Unjustifiable? Look at the current and historical state of humanity and our global institutions.

If you presume innocence, this requirement can also be interpreted in a harmless way as the funder asking the student to report his/her achievement for an evaluation of the progress.

The level of detail and the scope would matter a lot. It's very different whether the student is required to show that he coauthored 2x Science, 1x Nature Photonics and have a patent about something pending, or he need to furnish detailed information about an on-going/unpublished work.

I would also expect these dodgy reporting to be done in a more delicate way if they do exist then what's shown on this PDF. Citing the report in my first reply suggests that PDF is simply not a good source.
Again, I've heard and used the terminology "model hyperparameter" in place of "model parameter", and I've also heard "model parameter" in place of "model hyperparameter" because not every human interaction is a paper on arXiv and the terms are obviously very similar. The context of the term is what matters in the end (as demonstrated by other comments following my correct intent), and society will not crumble if using either term incorrectly in casual conversation. No one intentionally uses the wrong term, but as jokingly said in another comment "when you get really deep into model training, it can seem like there are a billion hyperparameters you have to worry about."

I appreciate being corrected, but you are the one who asked for my opinion based on my extensive time in AI, you can choose to believe it or not.

This week in zombie journalism: comparing at-home Netflix to outdoor cinema

This is apples and oranges. At a certain point, experience scaling makes it an entirely different experience.

On a personal level, though I stream cinema at home, I still attend a few showings a year at our local Alamo Drafthouse.

It's not "outdoor" cinema, but we go as a posse, go early for the pre-show bar scene, the famous Alamo pre-show background reels, and the quality AV experience. It's just a different media animal.

The problem I often see in these discussions is a lack of conversation around key areas:

1. Why are short-term rental units so popular with the renters? Why has the traditional market in this space fallen off and what can they do to adjust to new expectations by consumers.

2. Why are short-term rental units so popular with the owners? In the Toronto area for example I've heard from several unit owners that they would rather lose money than rent in the trad manner due to how far the rental laws have swung that makes evictions nearly impossible.

3. Specifically here in Canada these sorts of conversations always feel like a smoke screen or a way to find a useful idiot to get the masses angry with rather than addressing the core problem. In Canada our core issue is immigration policies that over the last 2 decades haven't been linked in anyway with capacity of housing, schools, healthcare etc.

Read the cloudberg article about KAL007, which happened during the Cold War. I think it's a remnant of Soviet culture, in that an order has to pass through multiple layers to be approved, so a lot is lost through Chinese whispers.

Maybe this feature is to turn this off?

Years ago I went to a concert with some friends. We took pictures standing in front of the stage while the staff was setting up. There were some additional pictures of the show. Nothing in any of the pictures had any information regarding the band names. This was taken with an iPhone 6s, so no "intelligence". In the past year or two I had a new "memories" album. The album title was the artist name that we went to see. At first I thought this was cool, then I was concerned, like, wait, how did they get this information?

My guess, the "intelligence" used the GPS info to pull up the venue and with the date figured out who the artist was. The album was the headliner, the group photo was of one of the opening bands.

I'm still on iOS 17, and I don't see any other way to turn this feature off. I have an option to reset suggested memories, but that's it.

It sounds more like a users are given a choice now, which would be a good thing. If it was enabled pre iOS 18 that kind of makes sense that it's enabled by default now.
